CHAPTER THREE: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Introduction Research methodology refers to the structured process of conducting a research that is central to the collection and analysis of the evidence presented in the study. The pertinent issues discussed in this chapter include the research design, the target population, the type of data to be collected, the sampling frame, the sample and sampling techniques, the data collection instrument, the data collection procedure, the pilot test, validity and reliability
Methodology is a chapter of dissertation that gives a full description of how the study was performed and analysis of data which was used to make a research. It is a theoretical analysis of the methods and principles used for particular research. The term "methodology" may also be used to refer to the study of various methods and not the methods themselves. Methodology is the way in which information is found or the way the research is done. Methodology includes the techniques, methods, and procedures
Introduction This chapter will explain about the research methodology that will be focus and discuss on how it will be processed and to be implemented. The research of methodology will be discussed more in this chapter. Methodology is a set of procedure or strategy to build a systematic system. There are several steps that consist in the research methodology. The research methodology is a main part in every project because it will guide the progress of the research with a systematic flow and ensure that the
THREE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research Design Research methodology depicts the steps processed followed or undertaken by a researcher carrying out research work. Donald’s (2004) defined research methodology as the specification of procedure for collecting and analysing the problems at hand such that the difference between the cost of obtaining various level of accuracy and expected value of the information associated with each level of accuracy is maximized. The general overviews of the research will
Research Methodology The Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problems. It includes the overall research design, sampling procedure, data collection method and data analysis procedures. Types of research: The Descriptive research method has been followed to conduct this study. The research design includes survey and fault finding enquiries of different kinds, it deals with the state of affairs and is an expert factor research. The researcher does not have any influence
Research may be defined as “an endeavour to discover new or collate old facts etc. by the scientific study of a subject or by a course of critical investigation” (Oxford Concise Dictionary, 1995). This definition clearly emphasizes the importance of methodologies as it pertains to researching a subject matter. It is for this reason that it is extremely essential that the researcher adequately considers the relative merits of a range of possible methodologies along with their associated data needs
Methodology This chapter confirms for the reader the choice of research methodology and methods used in this research. It considers the advantages and disadvantages of various research methods and discusses the validity of Action Research methods. Given the novelty of the approach (Water School) created and described by the researcher, is important to understand the rationale and the methodological basis for what is to follow in subsequent chapters of the thesis in order that the true value of the
1.8 Research methodology The study is an exploratory study of teachers teaching in self-financing courses in higher education institutions in Mumbai. 1.8.1 Profile of study area The present study is concerned with the urban dimension of working condition of teachers in self-financing courses, the empirical work being centered round a single city, Mumbai. It is the capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. Mumbai is the largest metropolis in India and the most populous city in the world. Mumbai
Methodology Introduction The research methodology described the geographical area of the study that studies the design and the population sample. Instruments used to collect the data, including instrumental used to maintain the validity and reliability of the described. Research approach and design A quantitative approach has been followed. (Burns and Grove: 1993) define quantitative research as a formal, objective, systematic process to describe and test relationships and examine cause and effect
Chapter 2 METHODOLOGY Research Design This study made use of the descriptive and development methods. Descriptive research according to Jackson (2009) is directed towards ascertaining the “here and now”, the prevailing conditions at the time of study. It also gives meaning to the quality and standing facts about people, events, and circumstances at a particular time and place. This study will use the survey method of descriptive research because the respondents will answer questions administered
